Brady's new UGGs commercial released

Brady's new UGGs commercial released

Tom Brady's newest UGGs commercial appears as though it is supposed to give the brand -- and maybe its quarterback pitch man -- a more rough-around-the-edges image.

It's unclear whether or not the message will be received on either front.

The commercial shows Brady playing fetch with a dog and walking to work. (Certainly more manly than cradling a baby goat.) He eventually lands in a locker room and unconvincingly nods along to the rap song playing in the background, as if to say, "Yep, I did this commercial of my own volition. Had nothing to do with Giselle."

Lots of shots of Brady's feet throughout the rest of the spot. No word yet on Rex Ryan's take.

More importantly around here, the Patriots now are in position to win out and claim the AFC’s No. 1 seed.

Prior to the Raiders loss, Oakland would have been the top seed if both they and the Patriots won out. Now, the 10-2 Patriots have a leg up on the rest of the conference. The Raiders’ road stays tough. They are at San Diego and Denver and host the Colts.

The Chiefs have a more favorable close to the season with home games against Tennessee and Denver before their season finale at San Diego.

The Patriots’ road over the final four is no picnic though, beginning with the Ravens and at Denver before the last two hosting the Jets and traveling to Miami.

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: Chiefs top Raiders 21-13, take AFC West lead

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Tyreek Hill had touchdowns receiving and on a punt return, Kansas City's defense made life miserable for Oakland quarterback Derek Carr, and the Chiefs beat the Raiders 21-13 on a frigid Thursday night to take control of the AFC West.

Charcandrick West also had a touchdown run for the Chiefs (10-3). They moved into a first-place tie with Oakland (10-3) but holds the tiebreaker with two wins over their longtime divisional rival.
